I've seen this question before so it's probably in the archives but my energy level is incredibly low. I've been getting my protein in more than ever before as well as fluids and still...falling flat in the energy dept. How long does this last until some fashion of normalcy kicks in?

Hi rhfactor. I had the gastric sleeve but it took almost 3 months before my energy really got back to normal. Now I feel great and have lots of energy. I think the time frame may vary from person to person. It will definitely get better. Good luck on your journey.

Thank you, thank you for responding! I was starting to think it was me! Was there anything you did to gain any energy during that time? Or was it more or less a waiting/healing game?

I am eleven weeks out and struggling a bit. I just made an appt with my pcp to discuss. But I am on synthroid.

What is synthoid?

My surgery was August 5th 2014 and i have had an energy issue as well, doctor said yesterday thats fine just move around a lot. i did start walking the day of surgery and walked for the next 2 weeks but after walking i felt drained like i had done a full day of yard work or something. i also hope things become normal but not yet

Having same issues with energy! Normally I was fine all day at work - lot of energy - now I just want to fall asleep at my desk! At home I have stairs and it honestly takes everything out of me to make it up the stairs without feeling like I ran a marathon! I am not a person who has ever really had mobility issues, Ive always been a chunky girl - but was not what you would call totally out of shape - so not having ANY energy is really sucking!

Synthroid is medication for hypothyroidism ( I am also taking it and have for years) it doesn't do anything like give you energy - it just helps your thyroid work like it should...

Hope that everyone is right and we all get our energy levels up in next month or so. My family will really appreciate it! I did this to have a better life - one that I can enjoy with my kids..but for now I am more of a hermit than I was before! Once loved to shop but heck I don't have energy to walk around the store!!

Are you take Vitamin B12 sublingual? I'm taking 2 a day & I feel better than I ever have. It took me about 4 months after surgery to feel good, but most days I feel I can do anything!!
